"You're the best"

Step aboard a vintage double-decker London bus and discover the history of Britain’s rock’n’roll scene like never before with this immersive Hard Rock Museum Bus Tour for Two.

Beginning at Piccadilly’s iconic Hard Rock Cafe, you’ll be transported back to the musical revolution that gave way for the pop explosion and the ‘British Invasion.’ Journey past London’s most iconic music and cutting-edge fashion locations, as well as homes of notable celebrities in Edith Grove and Cheyne Walk, whilst you get the lowdown on the era with live commentary and immerse yourself in the heritage with original hit music.

Head down the stairs to the basement of the Rock Shop to explore some of Britain’s most incredible rock memorabilia – the iconic glasses worn by John Lennon as well as displays of his original lyrics, alongside guitars owned by Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Glen Matlock and more, and a coat owned and worn by the inimitable Elvis Presley. Following a short introduction, you’re free to explore the museum and take photographs if you choose.

What happens on the day?

You’ll step aboard the vintage Routemaster bus outside Picadilly’s Hard Rock Cafe. From there, you’ll be immersed in the world of rock’n’roll as you’re taken past some of the most iconic sites of the time, before stopping off at London’s only rock museum.

In the basement of the Rock Shop, you’ll find historic memorabilia, including John Lennon’s glasses and original lyrics, and guitars owned by Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix. After a short introduction, you’re free to look around and take photos as you wish.
